'14 NJ C Quadri Moore (Commit)

[WAITE HOYT 2]

I have the same feeling about this upcoming season. That team lost Vaughn and Stephenson. This one lost Cash and Parker but I believe this seasons team will be better than last.

Jeff I agree. While losing Cash and Parker is a big hit to the offense Modj is a big hit defensively. That said, Mick is bringing in long athletic kids that should be able to provide offense and defense. Hopefully Rubles,Thomas and Caupain will make us a lot less dependent on there jump shot. I also expect SK to try to get to the hoop more this year. Also the length and quickness of this team will offset the loss of Modj defensively. The interesting thing is how the juniors react to being pushed by the incoming freshman. Guyn,Davis Jackson and Sanders are all going to struggle to find minutes if they haven't stepped up their games this summer. If they have worked hard this could truly be Micks deepest most talented teams. His challenge will be finding the right rotation and getting the guys who don't start to buy in to their roles. Sort of like the bomb squad when we had Larry Davis and others coming off the bench.

Biggest difference between this team and the Sweet 16 team is the center spot. No comparison between Yancy and Big Dave/Jackson. I also think that was the biggest difference for last year's team. It was great having a big man that could put up serious points and not just be there to block a few shots

Depends, Nyarsuk added 29 pounds, so he is off to a good start. I think he will be much improved, and while he might not be as good as Yancy, he doesn't have to be as good, he just needs to provide solid minutes with less fouling than Mbodj did.

I'm less excited about Nyarsuk adding 29 pounds as I am concerned about whether he has learned to catch the ball and can he hit a five-foot putback or lay-up. When comparing Gates to any other big that is the one thing he could do that no other big we've had in recent years has been able to do. Defense is great and I'm sure we'll be tough as usual defensively. I want a big that the other team's defense has to respect.

I don't think Nyrasuk lacks ability like some do, I just think his body hadn't adjusted to playing big time D1 ball. He didn't have much stamina and he got bullied at times. I think he can hit a lay up or 5 foot putback, he just got tired and a little bit overwhelmed at times, which is natural for someone who is in their first year playing major ball and really only his 4th or 5th year of organized basketball. He never looked lost like Gaines, he just struggled with physicality and stamina. We are also playing in a less physical conference now, so maybe he will benefit from that.

A sold out, white out game against Purdue seems like a good time to visit. Hopefully it makes an impression on Moore.

Lets see if the bearcats can get Terrell on campus next weekend as well. Awesome weekend to have two top 100 targets visit.

More than likely he will commit on his visit to Cincinnati and not even take those other visit who wants to go somewhere and sit when you can come to Cincinnati and start.

Nothing in recruiting is a lock.

Haha, yup, that's why I said almost a lock. I still feel confident in our chances but it sounds like he wants to take his time and let the process play out.

 

[david aka the TYZ]

From that article and the quotes given it sounds like he's not really sure of much of anything. He says he assumes we have good players and Miami was good last year and seems to have a good coach. I'm guessing this blog post was meant to attract Seton Hall fans to believe they're the only team he knows anything about. Every link on that page is to New York sports. Although he says he doesn't know anything about the player they 're hyping up to pair him with. I'm hard pressed to believe he doesn't know more info on these schools he's seriously considering. Maybe he's just really smart about not trying to tip his hand too much in talking about schools or just didn't want to answer this guys questions straight.

I think UC is in good shape with Moore. I don't pay much attention to random posts, interviews, or articles. You have to watch and listen over time.

I have a hard time reading anything posted on zagsblog after the reaction and treatment towards Lawrence when he chose anyone outside of NY...lost all credibility for that writer, err, I mean blogger...

I really would like to see Moore at UC and hopefully a couple others...I guess we will have to wait and see...

Yep zagoria is a bum. Last year Lawrence was interviewed after an Aau game and was asked what times are recruiting him and he mentioned a bunch but the first five that cam out of his mouth did not include uc. All of a sudden zags has a tweet come out that Lawrence announces top 5 and uc was not on there. Did I mention zags was not at the Aau tourney but heard of this and declares Lawrence's top 5. Oops Lawrence commits to uc.

Anyway I think Moore to uc will happen. I think Terrell to Rhode Island. Jerry Meyer from 247 tweeted that Rhode Island is recruiting him harder than uc. I want him bad but we also have j d 111 moorman and Kevin Johnson at the 2 next year so it is not a position of must have. I would love snider and graham. Graham probably most realistic. I also don't see uc going after carrington that hard. He is very similar to Kevin Johnson.

Moore is Down to Four Schools
By: Pat Lawless
GiveNGoBasketball.com Publisher

Quadri Moore, Class of 2014 power forward of Linden High School (NJ), cut his list of schools to four this past month. The schools that remain on his list are Cincinnati, Temple, Miami, and Seton Hall. He is a force in the post and can step it out shoot around the perimeter. GiveNGoBasketball.com got the chance to talk to Moore about his list of schools, his game, and much more.

He found that after the live period it would be the best time for him to announce his final four schools. "There isn't really one specific reason why I cut it down now," he said. "I already knew what schools I wanted to keep on my list. I just wanted to wait until the live period ended to announce it."

Moore sees a lot in the schools that remain on his list. "Well, all of the schools are good programs and have great school history with their alumni," said Moore. "They're all hungry for a national championship and have a good chance getting one."

He believes that he will pick a school before the high school season starts. The class of 2014 forward knows what his decision will based off of when he picks a school. "Where I feel as though I will fit in the best, not only on the team but also in the classroom," he told GNGB. "I also am looking at each school's campus life."

He also described his game for GiveNGoBasketball.com. "I am basically a stretch four but, I'm working on my athleticism and trying to become a better ball handler so I could also play the three on the college level," Moore said.

He told GNGB what he plans to do with his visits in the future. "I don't have any set dates as of now but, I have already gone on unofficial visits to Seton Hall and Temple multiple times, so I have a good idea of what there campuses look like," said Moore. "I will still most likely take officials to all of the schools on my list."

Quadri Moore will bring a lot to a team on the next level. He looks to bring his scoring ability and more to a program. "I think on the next level I will bring the ability to just score when needed to," said the class of 2014 power forward. "I am also going to be a solid defender because I can guard both the four and five spot. I can guard the three spot now because I've been working on moving my feet and I am becoming faster."

Moore has a very high ceiling. He is determined to reach his full potential and make a big impact on the next level.

This last week I think some signs of Moore to Cincinnati is close because Wake Forrest got a commit from Haas which is a pf or c and Temple got a commit today from Enechionyia which is a pf and Seton Hall got a commit from Delgado so either these teams know Moore is coming to Cincinnati and they shouldn't waste time with him or he is just dragging this out to long.

Quadri Moore Close to Deciding
September 15th, 2013 8:29 am


Linden (N.J.) 2014 big man Quadri Moore is close to pulling the trigger.

“I’m going to decide something next week on where I want to go,” Moore told SNY.tv Saturday evening.

Sources said the 6-foot-8, 225-pound Moore is down to Seton Hall and Cincinnati, although he previously considered Wake Forest, Miami and Temple.

Seton Hall has enjoyed terrific momentum in recruiting circles in recent weeks. The Pirates last week added 6-3 Brooklyn Bishop Loughlin combo guard Khadeen Carrington to a 2014 class that already included 6-9 Huntington (W.V.) Prep forward Angel Delgado and 6-7 combo forward Ismael Sanogo of Newark East Side.

On Saturday, Brooklyn Lincoln guard Isaiah Whitehead – one of the top shooting guards in the Class of 2014 — visited Seton Hall with Lincoln coach Tiny Morton.

“It was great,” Morton told SNY.tv.

Sources said Seton Hall has just one scholarship left, but recruiting is fluid so things could change.

Meantime, Cincinnati has had success recruiting the New York/ New Jersey area under coach Mick Cronin, having landed Lance Stephenson, Jermaine Sanders, Shaq Thomas and Jermaine Lawrence in recent years.
